Nice high-ended sweet shop that offers delicious treats, such as red bean mocha mochi that one has to Wait 15 minutes before eating it. It is tasty, but extremely sweet. Therefore, complement it with unsweetened coffee would be outstanding.

Best mochi sweets a hidden treasure of sweets from Japan

Don't go to J. sweets if you are not white or Japanese . They will discriminate you. When I was in the store no other customers at the store. I was standing there to pay for chocolate, Marie and Leo ( I asked there names) didn't even acknowledge me. I put down the chocolate and left. Over the time I bought so many sweets from this store. I always notice this discrimination for people of color. Today is enough for me. Hey people of color don't spend your hard earned money at J. Sweets.

With the variety of savory dishes at the Mitsuwa marketplace; J Sweets is definitely a welcome sweet spot! Sometimes one just needs a sweet treat after indulging in some curry or ramen and J Sweets is the perfect spot for that dessert! One can find a variety of treats here. Among their offerings is Royce Chocolate; a famous chocolate brand from Japan. One can also find Kobe Fugetsudo Petite Gaufres or tasty wafers. They also have a variety of mochi!When I stopped by here I chose to get some mochi. Their mochi is frozen and one has to wait 10-15 minutes before consuming. Prices vary but are around the $2 range. I chose to get the Honey Cranberry ($2.60) and Double Mango ($2.40).For the price; these treats are a little bit on the pricey side. The mochi are not that big. They are however yummy! They're nice and soft and the cream inside is good in flavor. I love mango and definitely enjoyed the Double Mango mochi. I definitely got that mango flavor in there. I would say try these mochi treats at least once! Treat yourself.Treating yourself is indeed the name of the game here at J.Sweets with the variety of yummy Japanese sweets one can find here!

This is where I buy the butter cigar cookies that I give as Christmas presents every year. They have Royce chocolates too. Friendly and very helpful staff.

I wasn't assisted or acknowledged immediately when I arrived to the store even though there wasn't any customer. I ended up buying a gift there because I went there for the particular item. I'm not sure if I want to go back there because they weren't exactly friendly and not so hospitable.

Beware! They resell returned merchandise! Mind you, covid pandemic isn't even over yet! They sold me the wrong mochi flavor so I went back to exchange it out. But to my surprise, they took the returned mochi from me and RESTOCKED it in the fridge to resell. I shall stay away from this place.
Shipping from them was bad experience. The fastest available is 2 days option for like 34 dollars. And it's 2 business days. And the shop ships it the day after I placed the order. And it wasn't shipping with signature hand off. So the package was lost after delivery because apparently my apartment concierge didn't receive it. So I lost like 100 dollars. I called the shop to inquire about if possible to reorder or maybe possible refund but the caller on the other side of the phone wasn't very good at English so communication was nearly impossible. In the end we just left it at no refund.

An amazing raspberry flavored mochi bun with crushed raspberry candy inside. It even looks cute! Pink with creamy filling and tiny, hard candy pieces. Easy to eat and won't hurt your teeth. Got an attitude from an employee once when I asked to taste a dry biscuit. It was not even good. Maybe things are better now. Not in Mitsuwa Market anymore. I'm too lazy to drive far away. But, the raspberry mochi would be worth it.

This is purely a review of just the Mochi Ice cream, NOT the other desserts. We ordered one of each flavor of mochi ice cream - mango coconut, matcha, chocolate banana, mint chip, and blueberry. While the flavors were good, the texture of the mochi tasted wrong. The mochi was frozen for too long and crumbled apart when I took a bite. Overall I enjoyed the taste but the texture was definitely off-putting.

A coworker of mine recommended Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. Thought I try it out this past weekend so I visited Santouka Ramen located inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace at Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance. As I was waiting for my Santouka Ramen to-go order, I noticed J.sweets right across from it and was drawn to take a peek. I walked over and saw a few rows of mochi behind the glass window. I assumed they were fresh mochi. I asked the lady at the register which mochi she would recommend. She named a few, but then I thought why not try them all so I went bonkers and bought all 19 of them. I could tell the lady was surprised by the look in her face, but hey, I'm giving them business so she should be happy LOL. I know I was happy and looking forward to trying them all. Another lady was packaging the mochi. At the time, I was still thinking they were fresh mochi, but when I got to my car and opened the 2 boxes, I noticed the mochi were frozen. I was slightly disappointed, but I got over it quick. The lady reminded me to refrigerate them after I arrive home... maybe it's not a good thing to refreeze them =). After trying all of them which took me a few days, here's my take from "best choice" to "could be better". Knocked off 1 star for the lack of flavor on some of the mochi. 1. Raspberry Mille-Feuille - This one is my favorite. It's the B*MB! It has the wonderful creamy raspberry cheesecake-like taste with the right amount of sweetness plus there's a crunch of some sort. I'll have to buy it again to figure out what's the crunch or I can just ask them next time LOL. 2. Apple Pie - Another favorite of mine. It's the 2nd B*MB! Maybe it has something to do with the crunch because it, too, had that crunch. Nice apple + cream flavor. 3. Double Mango - B*MB #3! Very good mango flavor. 4. Sakura - Great cherry + cream flavor. 5. Sweet Potato - Good and dense, but could be a tad sweeter though. 6. Caramel Pudding - Very light, but could be a bit sweeter though. 7. Strawberry Shortcake - Light, but not enough strawberry flavor. 8. Chocolate Banana - Interesting, but it worked... had chunks of something... I'm guessing the chocolate. 9. Cafe Au Lait - First bite was okay, but the coffee after taste was better. 10. Honey Cranberry - Kinda tart, but the honey helped smooth out the tartness eventually. 11. Red Bean - Good, but not sweet enough. 12. Caramel Macchiato - If you like coffee, you'll like this creamy coffee taste. 13. Black Sesame - Not enough black sesame flavor. 14. Red Sweet Potato - Okay, but couldn't taste the sweet potato flavor at all. 15. Chocolate - Way too much chocolate powder on the outside. Didn't care too much of the inside. 16. Green Tea - Way too much matcha powder on the outside. Inside was good. 17. Peach Yoghurt - Had a sandy taste to it. 18. Blueberry Yoghurt - Very strong blueberry tartness. 19. White Chocolate - It had white chocolate chunks, but no flavor at all which was surprising because white chocolate is known for being very sweet. I felt I was eating plain mochi LOL. Staff was very friendly. The price is around $2.00+ per mochi... a tad pricey, but hey, it's Japanese mochi at your fingertips LOL. You don't have to fly all the way to Japan to buy them. Parking is plenty since it's located at a mall, but beware... there are 60 and 90 mins parking spaces. Not sure how they track the time each car has parked or if they give you a ticket of some sort if you've parked longer than you should... maybe they mark your tires or something LOL. I was at my 90 mins mark so didn't experience any ramifications nor did I check my tires LOL. Anyway, give J.sweets a try when you're at any Mitsuwa Marketplace that has them. Happy Mochi'ing!
